About Us
TravelVibe is a bespoke China travel design studio. We believe true travel isn't ticking boxes β it's a private journey designed around you and brought to life by people who truly know this land.
Our team is made up of locals who love this land and international travel enthusiasts. From Beijing's hutong workshops to Chengdu's old teahouses, from bamboo rafts on the Li River to Hangzhou's Longjing tea fields, we've spent thousands of hours on the ground in every destination β all to bring you experiences truly worth having. We now cover 29 provinces and cities across China β every province except Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan β and we keep expanding.
Through AI technology, we understand your preferences in seconds and compose the perfect itinerary. But technology is just the tool β the real value is our carefully vetted network of local experience providers across China.
